Biography
Tara was born prematurely the first of a set of identical twins, yet
after her initial stay in the NICU of around only 4 weeks she seemed to develop
at an average rate up until 14 months old when she started to lose her skills
and language. At around 21 months old she was diagnosed with severe autism
severe anxiety and OCD and ADHD.
As the years passed and illness's and disorders presented themselves Tara has
also been diagnosed with CP,a bleeding disorder and thyroid disorder she had
surgery to place a G-tube also and requires daily additional nutrition. Tara has
genetically acquired LQT syndrome a history of seizures, carnitine transport
deficiency, gastroparesis and Mitochondrial disease.
Tara will continue to have many health obstacles in her way as she grows older
and we are not sure what the future brings for her but we are thankful for the
care and support of her medical team who has worked with us for almost all of
her life.
Tara is a sweet adorable child who has had to endure so many struggles and
challenges in her lifetime and one of the things that Tara enjoys SO much is to
snuggle in her bed with a favorite blanket so we know just how much joy a quilt
made just for her will bring her.
